The continued development and growth of the Global Connection Partnership Network (GCPN) remains one of the more dynamic journeys incorporated into the missional DNA of FBCA. As a close partner with our church, the growth of this ministry has had an undeniable impact in our approach to reaching the world. At FBCA we currently have 13 of our own people preparing to serve crossculturally as they utilize the curriculum designed by GCPN. These candidates meet every Monday night in various homes as they not only study for cross-cultural ministry but continue to grow in community as well. In addition to preparation and training, GCPN has also been a significant parner in the actual sending of cross-cultural workers throughout the world. Four of our FBCA members are serving as GCPN personnel through Project Restore Hope: Sierra Leone and 9 of our church members who trained through GCPN have already been commissioned and sent out to not only transform society but transform hearts through the power of the gospel. The growth and development of GCPN is an exciting thing to watch as it continues to be a key partner in our efforts to spread the gospel to all people.
